Idiocracy

Dumb movie, watched it again a few weeks ago, but fuckin hell it's coming true

...which side went on to storm the capital again?

I have to agree ... and Trump could have ended up as a Democrat too ... afterall he was one ... Trump and his ilk represents all that is wrong with America and guys like him support both parties to ensure their corporate favouring ant democratic yes man gets into power ...

You can see that both parties are addicted to war ... from 1991 to date there has been more or less 31 years of American involvement in some war ... Iraq .. Somalia .. former Yugoslavia ... Sudan ... Afghanistan ... Libya ... Syria ... plus all the wars they planned but were stopped completing ... Iran and so on ...

It is amazing how many Americans fall for the lies rich clowns spout at them ... America first .. make America great again .. and the like ... such rhetoric is used by both parties and they do not mean it ...

This phenomenon of not accepting the result is a trend that adds fuel to the fire ... ironically it would be the type of thing the American regime would accuse some other country they hate of doing !!! ... if both parties claim the election was rigged as happened in 2016 and 2020 ... and by groups like the Tea Party not the then Republican candidate in 2012 ... and start spreading conspiracy theories and lies ... then more January 6ths happen and a slide towards civil war and Republic of Gilead style dystopia is not too far away ... but you'll have an Elon Musk or some other flavour of the decade billionaire waiting in the wing obo either party to 'save America' ... worse still poor fools will believe these billionaires actually care about them !! ..

America's so-called leaders are obsessed with the Middle East ... ironically they are turning their own country into the more unstable ME states ....

Lol at the Cruz beer toss. And it is perfectly cool, he reaps what he sows.

I love the Cop's reaction which is basically 'nice shot my dude'.

Would they blame his “secret gay lover”?

oh no how terrible a nazi got clocked with a beer can, my heart bleeds

As was well said in the past:

"Their violence is viewed as speech, our speech is viewed as violence".

The same posters who think that any view that goes against their own is radical and a danger to society, have to no issues promoting political violence, while somehow thinking that their political violence is harmless. The irony too is that the tolerance of the people that they consider intolerant is the only thing that's stopping this all from erupting. They sit at home egging this stuff on in comfort, seemingly unaware of where this could all lead.

An African American candidate for the racist Republic of Gilead ... only in America would that happen .... and the same with the reason why some vote for him ... I heard on TV last night the reason .... because he was a good footballer !!!! No wonder America is a mess ...

I disagree. I actually immigrated to the us in 2017 and when I did the border guard who processed my landing with my new green card made some glib remark like "I guess not everyone thinks trump is so bad", to which I remarked "is that relevant?".

I was put off by that guy's unprofessionalism, in his role it's important that he does not express political views.

The point remains though, it was not relevant for me, the system is much bigger than the individuals at any given time. The advantages of living in the us outweigh the noise. I miss home a lot but it's a toss of a coin for me, where I'd rather be living. Certainly the money you can earn in the us is unmatched anywhere(maybe a gulf state but money is all they have), particularly if you have very specialized skills and a STEM background. They seem to need to import a lot of talent. The taxes are very low, relative to anywhere in Europe. It is a land of inequality but if you are on the right side of things, the quality of life is as high or higher than anywhere in Europe. Believe it or not there is high quality food in boutique supermarkets and fantastic restaurants, great gyms and sports clubs etc. The biggest advantage is the access to nature that I think is harder to get in Europe. There is just less people more space and more undeveloped forest and mountains.

To have your view of a country coloured by the politics of the day is kind of a shallow assessment. I can completely ignore the politics here for the next twenty years and it will have almost no impact on my quality of life. Once I don't tune into the noise. This might depend on the region you live in, I think I lucked out living in rural new England, the people are pretty chill about things here as if they've seen it all before. You'll always find a minority of nutters, you don't have to bother listening to them.

Good old Nazis, known for attracting support from minority groups. How have those "white supremacists" managed that I wonder?
